Italian Classes for Adults

For adult students, our School offers Italian language classes from Beginner to Advanced levels and specialized classes such as Conversation and Let’s go Italy!, a course designed for travelers.

For those who want to devote their time learning or improving the Italian language at a faster pace, we also have a Summer Full Immersion Program that will run for one week in July 2017.

For advanced readers our Book Club offers an exciting journey through the Italian literature, by discussing delightful and meaningful short stories.

In addition to these courses and activities we provide private lessons* for individuals, groups and/or companies interested in learning Italian or a particular aspect of the culture.
In the past years we organized language courses focused on food, arts, music or dedicated to particular regions and cities in Italy.
For more information regarding these customized courses please contact the school office.

We use Nuovo Espresso 1 by Alma Edizioni as our textbook for beginner levels, and Nuovo Espresso 2 for the intermediate classes. These books are consistent with the guide lines of the European Framework for the teaching of Italian as a Second Language.

*Private lessons: Terms and conditions – Lessons can be rescheduled and/or cancelled with a minimum of 24 hours notice. The lesson package must be used within 3 months from the day of the first lesson.
